Since this article was published in 2018, billionaires have increased their wealth by $7 trillion, and an estimated 254,000 people in the U.S. have died because they couldn’t access or afford healthcare.
Healthcare shouldn’t be for-profit.

Over 2,000 peaceful protests happened in all 50 states. Millions marched against Trump’s fascist agenda.
#NoKingsDay may be the biggest anti-administration protest in modern U.S. history.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

New Mexico made childcare free. It lifted 120,000 people above the poverty line
The state, which has long ranked worst in the US for child wellbeing, became the first and only in the country to offer free childcare to a majority of families

Elon donated $291 million to Trump.
Then, Trump’s administration didn’t take action on 40 investigations and killed cases involving Tesla, Space X, and Neuralink — saving Elon billions.
The $291 million was a bribe.
This is what corruption looks like.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk want to kill the Veterans Administration
So they can force veterans into private for-profit hospitals like HCA
And private for-profit insurance like United Health
THEY ARE LOOTING AMERICA — and giving it away to OLIGARCHS
